Bombarding Ones Own Coast.

The other day, going down the Firth
OF Clyde, the crew of the English guard
ship Ajax was exercised in big-guu
drills, with the view of expanding the
quarterly allowance OF ammunition.
About 1890 O'Clock, at which time
the Ajax was directly off Innellan, o
shot from one of the guns OF the YES
sci was seen to strike the water, and
then ricochet with terrific force toward
the shore. 1t struck the ground i'm
mediately adjoining a villa, entered
the earth about ten yards from the
northeast gable wall. The shot made
a hole in the ground about seven feet
deep, uprooted four large trees, break
ing them in pieces and scattering the
branches and fragments all over the
roof Of the building, as well as over the
adjoining grounds, besides covering the
roof OF the house with stones. Every
window in the place was broken, and
great rents we're made in the gable
walls, the housed in fact, being rendered
quite uninhabitable. The fore of the
projectile even after striking the
ground and doing this considerable
damage, vas not yet quite spent, as
the shot was carried about a quarter
of a mile up the hill, afterward roll
ing back for some distance. The adj
joining dwelling also suffered to no lit.
tie extent. A plumber who was EN-
ployed in the house at the time receiy-
ed injuries about the body which ne
cessitated confinement to bed, and q
servant girl had her hands cut. The
board school is in the immediate vi
cinity of A~shgrove, and at the time of
the occurrence was filled with children.
A slight deviation of the shot would
have brought it in contact with this
building. The Ajax people did not APP.
parently notice the damage that had
besn done, because they went on with
their firing, although the other shots
went in a more seward direction.

six syllables are found in the bible.
The xxxviith chapter of Isaiah and
xixth chapter OF III. Kings are alike.
The word girl occurs but once in the

The three most inspiring promises
are John xiv chapter and I'd verse,
John With chapter and 37th verse and
the xxxviith Psalm and 4th verse.
The LIST verse OF the lxth chapter oil
